WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1919 Shall Winneiks Have Its Own Motion Picture House? : The question of movies is one not only for parents but also for teach- ers. And it will be, in the writer's opinion, important to get the point of view of the people who are ad- ministering and teaching in the school plants of Winnetka--High, Grammar and Private. It would seem to an outsider that the great desire of school people must always be to conserve the benefit of the school influence and instruc- tion. That in order to have schools effective there must be secured and maintained a certain state of mind in children congenial to the school pur- poses and plans; and that nothing could more effectively dislocate those purposes and plans and undo a larger percentage of what an intelligent school force is doing than moving picture shows for children except very occasionally and then only when the subject is distinctly constructive --as, for instance, the pictures of the Scott Expedition, For there is no doubt whatever that even the best of the usutl moving pictures are de- structive. The temperature of modern af- fairs--as represented by these mov- ing picture shows operated for profit --will evaporate out of childrens' lives the most invaluable quality--a quality that grows only in a quiet and cool place where the imagination and the discrimination and the nervous energies are stored up for the long day ahead and for an old age which will need every particle of this storage to make it both beautiful and happy rather than ugly and sad. It would seem most natural that the educative bodies in this com- munity should be the ones to declare definitely whether moving pictures of the type under discussion will or will not be beneficial to children, and it is to he hoped that they on no ac- count hesitate to declare themselves in very definite terms and with their reasons attached.
